"In this clip, we're going to talk about healers. There are a variety of different roles that different kinds of characters play when they're working as a team. Now, let's say you're going to go out and do a group quest. You're going to go clear out a dungeon or take out a very powerful monster. You need a group to do that. And, different parts of the group do different things. Now, healers so exactly that. You need somebody in the group that can heal damage. Your tank is going to be absorbing a lot of damage. You?re going to have the monster just kicking the snot out of him and he's going to be taking a lot of damage. So, you need a healer whose job is to keep that tank from dieing. Now, some monsters do other types of damage. They send out like arid like blast wave attacks and things like that. Which, damage other parts of the group. So, a healer has to be versatile so he can throw heals to those players as well. There are different kinds of healers in the game and different character classes that do healing. For example, druids can do healing. Paladins can do healing. Clerics and priests can do healing. And, they all do it a little bit differently. And, there's different ways that you can do healing. There's different types of healing. There's powerful healing magics that take a long time to cast that spell. But, do massive amounts of healing. Or, there something that's called the hots. And, that basically means it's a quick healing overtime spell or something. So, that you can just cast it on somebody and it slowly tick tick tick tick heals them over time. Or, there's middle of the road type healing where it takes a little time to cast it. But, not a lot of time to cast it. It does a medium amount of healing. So, all those are very valuable. And, all those different types of healing do different things in different types of situation. But, you need them whenever you're going to go into a dungeon. You need somebody who can do some kind of healing."
